The brown ash tree was selected and harvested from the North Maine woods. Each tree is stripped of the bark and the
trunk is pounded until the growth rings can be pulled off in long splints.
I take the splints and split, scrape and gauge them into weavers, standards and points used to make my baskets .
The sweetgrass is picked blade by blade along the coast of Maine. I soak the dried grass and finely braid three strands
together locking in other strands to achieve the ‘continuous’ braid.
These baskets symbolizes my desire to keep native traditions and culture alive.
These unique baskets are signed and dated.
Your support in helping keep the traditions and culture of Maine Native tribes alive and thriving is greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your interest in Maine Indian Basketry.
